My wife and I are in love with Venice. Here's a copy of J.M.W. Turner's "Dogana and San Giorgio Maggiore." Mine doesn't do justice to the original, but it's good enough to hang over our fireplace.

Another view of San Giorgio, oil on paper. This church, which sits on 2 million pilings, was one of the great
neo classical buildings by the late Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio.

One of my favorite Palazzos; Salviati, is on a side canal. The white frame is actually a medicine cabinet.
This view of San Giorgio Maggiore and it's island is done in pointillist. The "crackelature" wasn't intentional, it was the result of spending a hot day in a car trunk.
